McCloy’s Specialty
• He was a specialist in Anthropometry, or the analysis of motor skills.
• He used this to accommodate the variability in students abilities.
• He also used it to classify students based on age, stature, and there
weight. He used this information to evaluate their productivity.
McCloy’s Philosophies
• He believed that the educational side of being healthy is much more
important than the development of physical skills.
• He also believed that we should use measurement to develop and build
skill.
• He argued that people were too into the idea of being good at the sports
and games instead of focusing on the health, wellness, and education.
Interesting Facts
• He was fluent in Chinese.
• He had many articles and a few books that he
wrote. The most popular being his book, Tests,
Measurements, in Health and Physical
Education.
• Many of his writing was translated into several
languages and sent to other countries.
I agree with McCloy’s Philosophy.
• I would use his philosophy within my routine as a
Health Promotion major. It is obvious that not
everyone is as gifted athletically as some of us,
therefore we as teachers need to make the
accommodations. I would make sure I would teach my
people everything they need to know about living a
healthier and happier lifestyle. I would use
measurements to make sure they could see where they
need to improve and where they are succeeding. I
would also make sure they don’t feel like it’s a
competition with others. I would make it more of a
competition with themselves, and challenging them to
make it to the next level.
